Hello everyone, happy to join the community. Attach is a photo of my 10 gal nano tank. Been running for about 6 months now? Never had any issues...up until now. My nitrates have spiked up high and I’m not sure exactly why, maybe I’m over feeding? Any feedback would be great. Here is my water test results.


Salinity - 35 ppt
Phosphate - 0
Nitrate - 5 ppm
Ph - 8.2
Ammonia - 0 ppm
Nitrite - 0
Calcium - 460 ppm
Alkalinity - 8/9

My phos has a very light tint to it but it was so close to being clear we just went with 0.

Look for hanna checkers for phos if you would like a more accurate reading ...
